Case Study: McClain Lodge achieves streamlined event and accommodation management with Total Party Planner

McClain Lodge - Customer Case Study

McClain Lodge, an 80‑acre event destination in Brandon, Mississippi with on‑site accommodations and a catering arm, experienced rapid growth—opening McClain Catering and adding 21 sleeping rooms in one year—and needed a better way to manage rooms, catering jobs and event details than pen and paper. To solve this, McClain Lodge turned to Total Party Planner for event and accommodation management software.

Total Party Planner gave McClain Lodge tools to meticulously track each room, catering job and venue from laptops, smartphones and tablets, so the chef, Event Director and owner can review event details anytime. The move to Total Party Planner replaced manual processes, helped the team coordinate expanded operations (including the 21 new rooms and multiple event spaces), and improved real‑time communication and event execution.
